Worship in the Waiting – How Music Has Carried Me Through Healing

One of the sweetest gifts God has given me during this season of healing has been worship. Music has always had a way of reaching deep into the soul, but in this journey of injury, surgery, and recovery, I’ve experienced it in a whole new way.

I’ve been especially encouraged by artists who have walked through their own valleys and allowed their pain to become praise. Forest Frank and David Crowder—both of whom have walked through healing journeys—teamed up to write a song that has touched me deeply. Seeing the Body of Christ come together in unity, sharing testimonies of God’s goodness even in pain, has been a powerful reminder that we are never alone.

During the long days of waiting and the restless nights, I’ve had these songs on repeat:

Forest Frank – Lemonade
This song reminded me that God can take even the sourest seasons of life and bring something sweet out of them.

 

Forest Frank – Selah
 “Selah” became a pause button for my heart—an invitation to rest, breathe, and trust.


Crowder & Forest Frank – The Rock
This duet is a testimony of God’s strength in weakness, and it carried me when I felt shaken.

These songs weren’t just background music—they became lifelines, prayers, and declarations over my life.

The Psalms remind us again and again of the power of worship in times of struggle:

“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.”
— Psalm 40:3 (NIV)

And when my heart felt weary, I remembered:

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.”
— Psalm 28:7 (NIV)

So while my body has been healing, my spirit has been strengthened through worship. These songs reminded me that even when life hurts, God is still good. He is the Rock that never moves.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
